It’s interesting seeing some of seasoned mets on here calling no snow . Not saying this will be the next 1978.. but as big as it will be it will throw good snows way west in a worse case

I knew I should have gone to Wake

Damn this would have rocked if the models shifted west by a lot more by now. Hard to get significant changes in the low placement 3 days out.

Good find. there are some whoppers in there for sure.

@stormtrackeryou ready to flip this bus over

This is my 3rd good winter in a row here in my area. This winter is already super memorable.

I think between things like this and sharing every model run with a general populous who doesn't have the understanding or context to process what they're looking at, it creates a mess. Social media meteorology needs correcting. Hunter does a fantastic job at it but others makes his job more difficult than necessary.

Not worth going to Norfolk or Raleigh.. no matter how big the blizzard is

Doesn't lessen the sting.

I’d lean on the ensembles until 12z tomorrow honestly.

Yeah I'd say it silly to write off most anything at 4 days out. CMC kept hope alive. Tomorrow at this time is when I'd start lookin for the next one.

I really think WNC gets crushed under the ULL.

It wants to come north, but does it want to come west?

Maybe the GFS becomes the Euro, and the Euro becomes the GFS. Up becomes down and all the like, because that’s what happened in 2013! Just wait for it!

Those old school maps had us in dark red, 2 feet plus for like 2 days and if had not gone nw last min, I think we would've been close to 20-24. I think one year soon we're gonna get a big dog the same night the lions win the sb in buffalo when they host it in their new stadium. What a night it will be.

Don’t tempt me with a good time sir. .

Pinkham Notch started out with 37" OTG, wound up with 50.

Oh, my it sounds like we are in the same place we are always in two days from a storm. No one knows if we are going to get zip or if we are going to get a good dry powder dump. i remember back in 93 living in Chattanooga, and we had a meteorologist that I really liked, Neal Pascal. We had been told for the most part we were going to have a big storm for a week. I had a friend from Fla that had never been in a real snow, and he wanted it to happen so bad. Then right before the storm hit Neal did or said something on one of his updates right before the storm that gave the impression that it was not going to be all that bad, and some might not get much at all. It was such a gut punch that we took off up to the skyway down near Tellico. Bad decision. We barely made it home that evening. I just can not imagine living somewhere that when snow is forecast you can count on it.

and just like that.....CMC tries to pull off my wish. Notably more neg tilt, but still a whiff. Now IF that could be the start of the normal north trend, I'd not write this one off. Lots stacked against right now.

Ask yourself how confident would you be in Raleigh or Norfolk that you’d be getting a blizzard this weekend?

What did Boxing Day do? It went south in the last 24 hours. It was supposed to be our storm. Last week it looked like Richmond was bullseye for 2 feet, and it went west, hitting PA, Boston, and NY in the last 24-48 hours. What about PD2? I don't know the details as I was pregnant and sick at the time, but I know we were not supposed to get nearly that much snow. It was either Feb 2013 or 2014 when the Polar Vortex caused some very confused models and we got a lot of cold and surprising high snow totals out of it. This is clearly not a 2016 storm, but coastal storms can be very tricky depending on where that Low decides to stall. I could be 100% wrong, which would make my Raleigh and Southern VA friends very happy, but I think the models will be struggling with this until game time. Just my amateur "cup is half-full" two cents.

Many notable events here https://www.eas.slu.edu/CIPS/ANALOG/DFHR.php?reg=SE&fhr=F084&rundt=2026012812&map=thbCOOP72

They must be looking at just the low pressure because even without the low pressure forming we are still getting snow from the pv dropping down. These maps are stupid for us.

Eastern, especially NE NC is way underrated with regards to snowstorm performance. Perfect location when these cold coastals get cranking if they can avoid the warm nose. Elizabeth city has seen some of the biggest storms in the state. Recently they’ve done better than most on the board
